Abstract
The study was conducted in order to investigate young children’s interaction with
digital technology in relation to a range of variables. The study population consisted
of young children between 0 and 72 months of age who lived in the city of Sivas in
2017 as well as the parents of these children. 414 voluntary parents were included in
the sample by means of random sampling method. “A Scale for Measuring Parental
Attitudes towards Digital Game Playing and Application Use Habits in the Preschool
Period”, a tool developed by the researchers, and the personal information form that
involved demographic information were used as data collection tools. SPSS 17 was
applied for statistical analysis of the data. As to the types of digital tools, 99% of the
participants had a smart phone, 70.8% had a tablet computer and 12.1% had a game
console in their houses. Besides, 39.6% of the participant children owned a personal
digital device. As a result of the study, children’s favorite digital device was found to
be smart phones. Children who lived within a nuclear family and spent most of their
time using a smart phone and who had a personal digital device were found to use
digital devices more than did their peers in families which did not engage in outdoor
activities or read stories together.
